RPG Maker 3 on PS3

[Hangover_boy]

I've only played this game on PS3, so I have some questions.

1. Does this game support keyboard and mouse? If so, how do you get it to work on the PS3? My mouse works on the PS3 dashboard, but when I start the game, it doesn't respond in the field editor.

2. Can I transfer people's games without the use of a max drive or Pro-action replay or whatever (by use of a thumb drive or something)

And a general RPGM3 question: Is there a way to put enemy models in the town? Like have, say, zombie enemies walking around aimlessly through a town while the player character runs around them?

Thanks guys...started this game just the other day and I'm having a blast so far. But having no keyboard really slows things down.

USB Keyboard only. no mouse support.

We have quite a few games available for download in the PS3 format. all you have to do is (using a computer) use the "Download PS3" link that appears alongside some games in our directory (click the banner to head to the main site). Unzip the file, and place the psv file within on a storage device that the PS3 will recognize in the folder tree "PS3/EXPORT/PSV/" if that's not clear enough, there's a tutorial here: http://www.rpgmpavilion.com/index.php?page=rpgmps3

And a general RPGM3 question: Is there a way to put enemy models in the town? Like have, say, zombie enemies walking around aimlessly through a town while the player character runs around them?

Nope. Enemy models can only be used in battle.

and of course, welcome to the RPG Maker Pavilion.

Awesome, thanks for the reply...so there's hope for a keyboard yet...cept mine is a PS/2 (not playstation :-p ) keyboard...I'll have to try out my ps2-to-usb adapter, see if that works.

I'm trying to make a zombie outbreak type of story, but without zombie models walking around town, it sorta loses the effect. I suppose I could put in NPCs with green skin or something, and then use the zombie model in battles.

Re: RPG Maker 3 on PS3

Well, the ps2-to-usb adapter didn't work. I guess I'll have to get a true USB keyboard somewhere.

As for zombie models, I was able to fake it somewhat using the Fighter NPC with Color 03 skin. It looks good enough ( comes with grey skin, red eyes, no shirt, and ripped pants), however he can only wander around slightly at random with his hands on his hips.

After the initial zombie outbreak and the character realizes what's going on, I think I'll get rid of the visible NPCs and just stick with random battles (though my game is taking place entirely within towns and dungeons - no fields, so I'm not sure how to handle battles within towns other than using events).

I still don't have a strong plot, but hey, I'm working on it

Cool! Can't wait to hear it. Also, welcome to the Pavilion.

Welcome to the Pav.

Don't track dirt in on the carpet, Valk's really picky about that, especially since they've discontinued the color.

Re: RPG Maker 3 on PS3

Since I have a PS3 and no other gadgets (max drive, etc), is there a way for me to give someone my game that I made? Maybe upload it somewhere on here?

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen, the submission forum the how-to is referring to is located here.

Looks like either way you'll need a flash drive, you can pick a cheap one up anywhere for $10-$15.

Re: RPG Maker 3 on PS3

copy your save to a flash drive or whatever your PS3 model supports, take it over to a computer, zip it, and submit it.

You could always use invisible events that moved at random in darker/alleyway type areas. That's as random as you can get, something that when the charcter touches it throws them into a battle with your zombies.

Well...best I can come up with anyway.

Re: RPG Maker 3 on PS3

I don't think you randomly move events, Ive never thought about doing that, I cant remember if thats because its not possible or I just didnt bother to look.

Well..you can randomly move people as events...and can't you turn they're display off so that it's invisible? It doesn't sound like the creator of this game is going to need a lot of people events, so couldn't they technically use those on random movement?

Then again, I am used to working with PC games more often then these still...so I could be far off on this. If so please disregard my advice.

Re: RPG Maker 3 on PS3

You cant make an NPC invisible, You could use a display off command, but it disables the scripts within that NPC...so its pretty pointless.

Re: RPG Maker 3 on PS3

It's noob crap like this that shows how little I know about this game still. I guess I'm too used to the PC versions, especially XP.
Guess the way to go would be stand alone normal, but invisible events. Though having auto run events for going into certain buildings would be kinda cool...be an instant attack type thing, or placing touch events behind doors or on stair cases.
Still, I'm an idiot. Sorry for any confusion.

Re: RPG Maker 3 on PS3

Theres no reason to call yourself a noob or an idiot, theres been plenty of questions asked thats more common knowledge then that...plus youre used to the PC makers, which have a wider range of customizeable features then the console versions, so its easy to understand how you could have reached a conclusion like that, seeing its something the developers should have put in the game anyways.
